In Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus famously said, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (11:28).

In this study, we’ll be exploring various passages that address the idea of rest and Sabbath. These passages will help to shed light on, and tell the story of, rest through Scripture.
